SCHOOL BASED SUPPORT SCHEMES FOR LEFT-BEHIND LEARNERS AFFECTED BY TRANSNATIONAL PARENTAL MIGRATION DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: INSIGHTS FROM A ZIMBABWEAN SCHOOL

Despite education expansion, age at first marriage stalled in some sub-Saharan African (SSA) regions, a pattern whose underlying drivers remain poorly understood.We argue that a deeper investigation of birth cohort changes in education-specific ages at first marriage and how they are aligned with changes in girls' school participation can illuminate this puzzle.Using Demographic Health Survey data from 34 SSA-countries, survival analyses and decomposition techniques, we examine...

To recognize the role schools play in the acclimatization of refugee children to their new life in the host country, we sought to investigate the psychosocial adjustment of Syrian refugee students enrolled in Lebanese public schools. Psychosocial adjustment involves both the emotional and behavioral wellbeing of children and is measured using the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Psychosocial adjustment is also consistently linked to school belonging which, in turn, can be...

This study investigates female teachers’ participation in educational leadership in secondary schools in Ubungo Municipality, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The objectives of the study are threefold: (i) to explore the participation of female teachers in secondary schools’ leadership; (ii) to investigate the challenges facing the participation of female teachers in secondary schools’ leadership; and (iii) to establish strategies for enhancing the participation of female teachers in the leadership...

Single rainwater samples were collected in the city of Goma (~1,1 million inhabitants), eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, from January to June 2013 to draw a baseline for rainwater chemical composition and quality as influenced by the permanent plume of Nyiragongo volcano. This was a better period for a baseline as the neighboring Nyamulagira volcano, only 15 km apart, had no important degassing from its central crater, and hence the recorded volcanic influence on the rainwater...

Since 2004, Moroccan authorities have promoted the development of new cities to provide affordable housing to low-income residents. A major objective of this policy is to provide a site for the resettlement of slum residents. As policymakers justify poverty alleviation and social inclusion to advance their agenda, residents facing displacement have shown substantial resistance to these resettlement programs. Tamesna, the second new city established under this policy, was mainly established...

The study deals with the subject of learning languages online. Many studies (Chelghoum & Chelghoum, 2020; Arabeche & Soudani, 2021) have been carried out over the last year to investigate the needs of the pedagogical changes as a result of the world health situation. The Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc all over the globe. This unprecedented situation created huge complications for citizens worldwide, with emergency offices suddenly appearing in students’ and workers’...

Mediterranean countries are strongly affected by reduced surface water resources. This study aims to assess the climate change impacts on runoff supply to the Bin El Ouidane dam in Morocco, the largest in the country in terms of hydropower production. A water balance model coupled with a stochastic calibration method to provide confidence intervals on simulated discharge is used to reproduce discharge using observed and bias-corrected ECMWF Reanalysis 5th Generation (ERA5) rainfall (WFDE5)....

Geophysical and oceanographic observations establish how a deep magma chamber fueled an extraordinary eruption.

Terrestrial oil spills are a major threat to environmental and human well-being. Rapid, accurate, and remote spatial assessment of oil contamination is critical to implementing countermeasures that prevent potentially lasting ecological damage and irreversible harm to local communities. Satellite remote sensing has been used to support such assessments in inaccessible regions, although mapping small terrestrial oil spills is challenging – partly due to the pixel size of remote sensing...

Ethiopia has seen the largest number of conflict-induced displacement. Mental disturbance has been identified as a major public health concern among conflict-affected people, including students. Due to the effect of continuous unfold of the COVID-19 epidemic in the conflicted affected setting, the mental health problem tends to be increased. This creates a double burden for students from conflict affected setting after school re-opening. As a result, the goal of this research was to evaluate...

Much of the water sources along the East Africa Rift System (EARS) are characterized by high fluoride. Geochemical evaluation of volcanic materials was undertaken to assess the possible source of high fluoride concentration, its mobility and eventual contamination of groundwater systems. In addition to rocks, this assessment involved evaluation of soils and water samples to elucidate the fluoride concentration in a rock-soil-water system. Results indicated that volcanic rocks are weakly to...

To limit global temperature increases to ‘well below 2 ºC’, it is necessary that current national commitments to reduce emissions are increased, and these commitments are implemented. The identification of local development benefits from climate change mitigation is a possible motivating factor to achieve this. However, there is a lack of practical examples of how climate change mitigation and development priorities can be integrated in national planning processes, particularly in low- and...

The problem of quality education is a burning worldwide issue nowadays. Teachers' teaching quality and effectiveness is one of the major contributing factors for quality education. Self-regulated teaching is becoming the new innovative strategy for quality teaching. Hence, the purpose of this study was to investigate the practice of self-regulated science teaching in the secondary schools of South Gondar Zone of Ethiopia. Nine (9) secondary schools were selected randomly. After selecting the...

The dominant mode of instructional delivery in Ghanaian Colleges of Education has been the conventional face-to-face. However, the second semester of the 2019/2020 academic year teaching had to be done via an emergency remote online teaching mode due to the novel covid-19 pandemic. In a cross-sectional survey, the online mathematics learning experienced of 497 students sampled from three Colleges of education in Ghana were explored using the adapted community of inquiry survey instrument. It...

In this study, we determine magma generation and evolution of magma storage conditions beneath Paka volcano located in northern segment of the Kenya Rift. The surface geology of the area is characterised by five main sequences including pre-Paka formations and volcanic sequence 1–4, all built up by basalt, intermediate and trachyte rocks spanning 582–8 ka. Numerical trace element modelling suggests that the primary magma in Paka resulted principally from 5 to 10% garnet–peridotite partial...
